New York Liberty vs. Seattle Storm Prediction

I’m on the Storm here. I don’t like either one of these teams, as the Liberty have been trash on the road, and the Storm find new and creative ways to disappoint everyone game after game. I think the Liberty have bigger issues given their horrible record on the road this season and the Storm are still fighting themselves right now and are trying to shake it off. I just can’t get there with the Liberty in this form so give me the Storm.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Seattle -1.5
